Todd Gurley will wear jersey No. 21 when he suits up for the Falcons next season.

The former University of Georgia star wore No. 3 in Athens and No. 30 during his five seasons with the Rams.

Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders is among the players who have worn No. 21 with the Falcons. Cornerback Desmond Trufant wore the jersey number for the last seven seasons.

The No. 21 has also been worn by some other notable Atlanta athletes along with Sanders, including Dominque Wilkins who had the number retired by the Hawks. Warren Spahn’s No. 21 is retired by the Braves, although he never played for the franchise in Atlanta.
